  • More Cons Than Pros

    November 15, 2021
    The cons: - ZERO guest parking. There are about 8 street-parking 2-hour only spaces that are always completely full, and the only unassigned spots on premises are for future residents ONLY. You can register a guest's car to use these spots BUT they can only park there from 6:00pm-8:00am - so no guests allowed during the day apparently. [Also if you are unfortunate enough to have one of the garages behind the fire lane, prepare for someone to always be parked there with their hazards on making ...
    it impossible for you to pull into your garage, and you will have to spend the next hour wandering the grounds trying to locate the car owner - hopefully you don't have groceries in hand] - Most of the bedrooms back up to the garages/alleyway, so you'll get to hear people coming and going all hours of the night, chatting or fighting in the parking lot, running their vehicle for over an hour at 1:00am, etc. [You can keep your windows closed, but the apartments are already swelteringly hot as is] - Items in the apartments are either cheaply made or poorly put together. Within my first 3 months of living there the: closet door broke, freezer fan broke, patio screen door broke, bathroom door handle broke off, dishwasher broke (whole thing had to be replaced), kitchen drawer broke, toilet paper holder broke off the wall (this happened twice more after it was "fixed"), and then a month before I was to move out the garbage disposal rusted itself off which completely flooded the under-sink cabinet ruining all my cleaning and grocery supplies. There was also a leak from my bathtub plumbing into the garage below. - The water is shut off at least once a week; seriously problematic if you work from home. Also taking a shower means a constant risk of either scalding your skin off or turning into a human icicle literally every, single, time. - Cockroaches seen in stairwells and garages. One month of free rent is only for new tenants, not extended if you choose to renew your lease. No utilities included. Laundry facilities are small and often had at least 1-2 washing machines down for the count. The pros: - Convenient and safe location (I felt safe going for walks after sunset/early AM, and left my garage door open a few times always to return with everything still there) - The management and maintenance are very communicative and very responsive - Air conditioning in the unit works fantastic ***Bottom line: I would absolutely never live here again

  • Worst place I've ever lived.

    July 13, 2020
    Living in this place is seriously asking for multiple headaches a day. From the terrible structure, plumbing issues, cheap apartments to the people who actually are supposed to look after you at the leasing office, I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. The water gets shut off at least 3 times a month. The inside of the apartments are made by the cheapest materials ever. Last year there was a big construction so they could make the outside look more update, and for an entire year I ...
    had construction workers jumping in and out of my balcony that leads into my bedroom unannounced, hammering and breaking all day every day, to the point that I didn't want to come home at all. I complained multiple times to the managers and nothing was done FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. Not to mention that the new management is just as bad when looking after the residents. They are very passive aggressive when dealing with people's issues. They don't care about the people who live here, they just want your money. Don't let yourself be fooled by the newly painted buildings, this place is not worth your money, nor your sanity!

      Hello Luiza, Thank you for taking the time to post your review. We are saddened to hear that you had such a negative experience of Atwater Cove over the last 3 years. We certainly understand how difficult it can be living through a renovation project. In order to complete the plumbing work orders in your apartment, the plumber requested that morning for you not to use any water until they could complete the repairs. Failure to do so would've prevented them from completing your work order. We did offer to provide you access to another apartment home to use the kitchen and restrooms until your work order was complete. We certainly aim to offer great customer service. Should you wish to discuss further please feel free to contact us at atwatercovemgr@pinnacleliving.com. Latasha B, Community Manager
